07 October 2019
In response to the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey 2018, when asked to rate their care on a scale of zero (very poor) to 10 (very good), respondents gave an average rating of 8.8.
The survey is conducted on an annual basis and includes all adult patients (aged 16 and over), with a confirmed primary diagnosis of cancer, who have been admitted to hospital as inpatients for cancer related treatment, or who were seen as day case patients for cancer related treatment, and have been discharged between the months of April, May or June 2018.
